Your MIL most likely read this (or a similar) article (Fitness Magazine).
It is great that you love your veggies, and there is a limit to eating even healthy foods within moderation. The caveat that your MIL missed, however: limits on good foods depend upon if you have a predisposition towards a certain condition. For instance, if you are prone to kidney stones, broccoli is a high-oxalate foods, and eating more than 2 cups of broccoli every day exacerbate this condition.
It is recommended that you do not consume more than 1-2 cups of broccoli per day, and be sure to vary the types of fruits and vegetables you consume daily, so that you are receiving the best variety of nutrition.
